An audio file of Alan Redhouse's speech held last Saturday at the AmiGBG fair in Gothenburg, is now available. Soon video files are expected to become available as well. Update: Some show photos and a transcript by Peter Gordon are now available as well. Update2: Now there are movies in .rm format on the site.

It's always a delight for me to listen to Alan's presentations. What strikes me is his well motivated reasoning and logic. IMO something a large number of lately vocal (ex-)Amigans could and should learn from.

Yes, I find Alan to be an easy guy to like. He appears to have a firm "no bullshit"-approach to business. No games, no stunts, just plain hard work and honesty. There are people who could learn a lot from his way of doing things.

I was pleased to hear Alan?s calm reasoned presentation not to mention the extendedplans they seem to have for the new A1 board.

I was also very happy to hear of approximately 25 man years having been spent on AOS4so far. It?s a big project and this amount of effort make a great deal of sense to me andpoints to a decent product when released.

So, I read the transcript, the amiga light edition board sounds marvellous, i dont think there is enough appeciation of how a low cost solution might help bring substantial nuber of users that otherwise wouldnt have bought the system...

While it is not a completly comparable thing i think that the success of Lindows is a good example, selling dirt cheap but functional systems, if the boards end up around 400 euro a lot of old amigans myself included could imagine stretching the wallet, to support the OS and to rekindle my knowledge od Amiga

Agreed. The price of the current AmigaOne is a bit steep for people who aren't complete die-hards (like me). I'm not saying it's not worth it, but a more low-end board might help bring aboard people who aren't willing to stretch quite as far for something which might just be a hobby.

Good point it will also make an intresting system for building homemade portables, mp3/DVD/divx players and stuff
